			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="blogcontent restore">I'm pretty sure that we all have a buddy who tags along on a day of paintball ,usually within a hour or so his marker will fail or just refuse to work.<br />
I was in that boat maybe a few months ago where i had my buddy Sean tag along with me out to Tombstone park roughly 2 hours in he was reduced to 1 bps by his crappy Spyder Pilot ( i think it was either that or electra model) so i offered him the use of my older etek 2 (which has since been traded ),he was eager to get his hands on a machine gun (he is semi-noob) so i took his tank and hopper and attached it on to the Etek 2 and off we went to the Trenches field,right before game start i showed him the simple on off procedure and told him fire off a few balls ..To my shock he ripped 2 shots which maybe went a total of 10 feet with a simple soft fpppttttt sound ,To cut a long story short he ended up sitting out that game because the Etek 2 was a no go ,turns out i had over lubed it and the airflow was blocked hence the low velocity.<br />
Since that day i had the thought of what would be a ideal low cost fool proof loaner gun,i know a few folk are gonna say custom 98 or A-5 but ive been down that road kinda bulk and i know if i got another A-5 i would have the urge to turn it into a MP-5 or something,so i took the road heavily travelled and went over to the dark side and picked up a S.P ION ...Give me a chance to explain the dammed deed i did.<br />
1 I think everyone at some point has shot a ion  and its pretty idiot proof ,even a marine could use it lol &quot;)<br />
2.Easy to maintain.feed it lube once a decade and your good to go !<br />
3.Cheap cheap cheap ,the one i purchase (on another forum :() cost me $37  i just needed a board (Blackheart board $65 ,a asa $5 ) <br />
So basically now i have the no fear here shoot this loaner marker now covered,yeah i know they are  a dime a dozen but now i wont worry when its raining outside and i dont want  to risk the boards on my Planet Eclipse Markers ,easy as pie just grab the ion and no worries ..<br />
I know alot of Ion owners like to brag about all the ups on their markers and that their marker can shoot 100 bps mine is bone stock and therefore less likely to break now and leave me in the hole<br />
Id  like to hear feedback from you guys on your ion..</blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="blogcontent restore">Port City state of Mind.  <br />
The Road to No Ends had a Wild Ending...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Road to No Ends has come and gone. It was a weekend for firsts and learning experiences.<br />
<br />
I arrived to the field around 1pm Friday. Was good to see some friendly faces with some of our buds from Section 8. They were even nice enough to help unload some of the paint. Note to self, I owe them a beer in the next life for their valor in this endeavor. <br />
<br />
Friday was an ugly day. The weather gods tent to be teases and this afternoon and night was no different. Rumors that the Noah like flood of rain was going to miss our little corner of the earth were quickly dis-proven as the sky's opened up and the &quot;bottom fell out&quot; of the sky.  Luckily Kevin Shimwell (Operator of Adventure Beach Paintball-ABP) had put in some serious time and effort in upgrading the roads, despite this we had a couple of stuck vehicle, but think of what would have happened had he not accomplished what he did. From what he has told me, even more work is planned to repair the damage from recent logging, so I think it's safe to say the mud on the road will be a smaller and smaller issue in the future.<br />
<br />
Friday evening Me, Brandon, Tazz, and our buddy Wise headed down to Chris's pizza for a bit. If you are ever at Adventure Beach this is the stop you need to make. Also of note is out waitress was possibly one of the cooler people on the planet and I am sure she will come around to care about Wise as much as he cared about her in the 60 mins they had together. :lol:  Worth noting, next time you see Nienow, ask him about his special sammich ;)<br />
<br />
Friday night closed nicely with the few who would brave the elements getting a taste of the PCM-Keg (21 older kthx)(THANKS WRATH!) and some tall tales of paintball conquest that are sure to follow the second cup. Tales mostly of how awesome a hiker Neinow is and how fast Morph could run in the &quot;good ole days&quot;.<br />
<br />
Saturday arrived to overcast and wind, but overall a decent day for some paintballing. Numbers of the game came out to roughly 200 and despite some last minute cancellations each side was fairly well balanced numbers wise.  As with any first time big game there were a couple hiccups logistically, but they are issues that will be addressed and fixed.  Safety Briefed and Pods-a-filled it was time to party. Game kicked off a little after 11. <br />
<br />
As I get into Saturday day play I want to say this. <br />
<br />
Chris Nienow (co-Captain of PCM alongside of yours truely The Kurb) throughly impressed me and represented PCM superbly. Me and Chris have been buds for over 3 years now, he was my first contact with PCM when I was a wee recruit with a stock A-5, and to say we have driven each other to the edge of teammateacid a couple times is putting it mildly. In his first (REAL) generaling of a game he developed a simple yet highly effective plan and had his teams execute it to lethal effectiveness. I knew he had it in him, if he could get past being a Monster Energy drink fueled spazz! As a side-note I'm glad he liked it, for I don't so now I can send Generaling requests to him <br />
<br />
The game lined up like this. <br />
<br />
Knowing was repped by PCM, Avalons Fury (XO's) Seek and Destroy , SSK , SoVa, THC, our good buddies Fracture some Wilmington local rec players and some ABP locals. A solid crew indeed.<br />
<br />
The Hidden was repped by ODX (of Fulda Gap fame(PS get them tanks on a trailer and come to PBC in march!)), WolfCreek, Tango Alpha2, a few from Capital Offense(Snowed in? Really ??! :p ), Section8, Thunder Chickens,a sprinkling of ABP locals and some others I am sure to be forgetting.<br />
<br />
Our General's plan was simple. I along with 2/3's of PCM and all of Seek and Destroy would hit TippmanTown and cut it off from the Hidden. Stephan (Hollywood) would take the other 3rd of PCM along with some others and take control of the Pyramid and move toward the tape line. Basically creating a 3 sided box around the Hidden CP.  Suffice to say, it worked. While Hollywood and his deathsquad got the pyramid fairly quickly. The city crew ran smack into the bulk of the Hidden forces lead by members from Section 8 and the ThunderChickens (and some others I am surely forgetting sorry i didn't take names as you cats were lighting my dumbass up :p). Once the firing line was established out mission teams went to work in the backfield racking up points.  This worked VERY well. Much to both my and Nienows surprise. Not to say we didn't have faith in our teams or in Nienows plans, its more that we have a ton of respect for every team on the Hidden and honestly didn't know that we would win this one. Greenman has a incredible reputation as a general and ODX just as strong a rep as a great mission team. If we played it again this weekend we have no doubt the game would be a LOT tighter in the end.  Also worth mentioning is yes there was a mix up with respawns around the middle of the day, to those that had to take a longer than needed walk Sorry. Fortunately it was a quick fix and things got moving again fairly easily.  The Knowing ended Saturday with a pretty good lead but we didn't know what Sunday would hold.<br />
<br />
Sunday was like a photo. It was cool but not cold, the sun was shining, birds sang, makers popped, birds flew away in fear of there lives, just a great morning for paintball.  I'm not gonna lie, my butt drove home (Wilmington, NC) to get a hot shower and snuggle up to Mrs. Kurb and the Amazing Milli Dog instead of taking my chances with Woodlander and Morph snoring up the place for another night.  As I arrived I was surprised to see a new color tape on the masks of my PCM brothers.  See when I leave them alone for just 28 hours! everything goes to hell. :) To even up the sides for Sunday play PCM jumped ship and decided to try and make Nienow's life a living hell.  I strolled up to Greenman and politely said &quot;I aint trying to do any work there tiny&quot;  his reply was sending PCM on a mission to the back of the field. Go figure!. Sunday play was overall (IMO) better than Saturday. PCM teamed up with some ODX for a mission early and later found ourselves mixed in with the Thunderchickens and Section 8 members. Overall it was just a fun day of scenario play. And it's worth nothing the Hidden made a small come back in points. <br />
<br />
The day ended shortly after lunch but before the game horn had sounded the Hidden made a ruthless move than essentially won the battle but not the war.  The knowing had finally acquired the Cup of the Oracle or some such (Role Play!!!111) which was the main objective of the game.  So while the Knowing won the war of the weekend, the Hidden came ahead in the series of games.  A fine ending to a fun weekend if I do say so myself.<br />
<br />
Awards were given out, thanks to all those who donated and such.  <br />
<br />
Several folks came up to us and asked why did we switch sides on day 2. I honestly didn't really think much of it when we did it. Scenario paintball is more about having a good time than points and Magic cups from some chicka. PCM just loves to play, With you or against you, we just wanna compete. <br />
<br />
In closing I want to give a special thanks to Suicide and Biscuits (Team Rebel Force Pirates) for making that long drive to come play with us at ABP. It's always a blast hanging with you guys. You are great players and represent the sport well, also Biscuits gave me some Chicken Boneless Wings(NOMNOMNOM) and that gets you a paragraph at the end of this.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="blogcontent restore"><font face="Franklin Gothic Medium"><font size="4"><font color="red">So today i actually had some time on my hands since i had come down with food sickness (called in sick) i had read some various other forums that were constantly complaining about the loudness of the Etek3 ,well i figured id take a hour or so and see what i could come up with so i basically did this by ear so its not so technical so doesnt expect NASA type results...</font></font></font><br />
<font face="Franklin Gothic Medium"><font size="4"><font color="#ff0000">So what i did was try out a Lucky 14 inch barrel 1st and i really liked the mill work on it and it really did seem to have a lot more porting than the stock 1 when it came to the sound test id say it was way more quiet that the stock it had more of a ping ping sound (really liked it )</font></font></font><br />
<img src="http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj318/KESTRELX7/IMG_0008.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
<font face="Century Gothic"><font size="4">Next was the Shaft 3 barrel off 1 of my Geos ..Of course the mill work matches with the Etek3 but the thing i noticed compaired to the Lucky barrel was lot less porting on it ,the sound from it is more like a dull thud compaired to the Lucky </font></font><br />
<img src="http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj318/KESTRELX7/IMG_0009.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
<font face="Franklin Gothic Medium"><font size="4">Next was my 2pc CP barrel this is the one i use alot for my Geo but as you can see it doesnt look good on my Etek 3 lol ,sound wise it wasnt bad kinda pfffft sound i did notice it kinda had a habit of unscrewing itself which means it really vibrates</font></font><br />
<img src="http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj318/KESTRELX7/IMG_0011.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
<font face="Franklin Gothic Medium"><font size="4"><font color="yellow">Last up was the orginal etek barrel,this is a &quot;OG&quot; barrel its also a odd size of 13 inches most barrels are in set of even sizes 12 14 16 inches .Millwork looks good down to the sound factor and it held up pretty good quieter than the stock and CP but not as good as the Lucky</font></font></font><br />
<img src="http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj318/KESTRELX7/IMG_0010.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
Anyways that was a fun way to burn 90 minutes and hopefully it helps out someone that wants to know how to hush down a etek...Go witha lot of porting on a barrel</blockquote>

<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">So first field up was Baghdad which is like a urban combat style mostly burnt out buildings witha bus in the middle of the field and cars and truck shells about on the flanks,The fact that this was a private group by the guys from M.V.P paintball meant that they had a mix of tourney players and noobies ...Just for laughs it was decided that we would running the tourney guys vs noobies since there was about 11 of us vs 33 noobies on baghdad its turned out to be a bit of kill fest we ended up with all 11 of us alive at the end of the game ,i went thru 4 pods and a hopper full with a 5 minute period and it was a blast my Geo was shooting well with the new CP 2pc on it ,so we flipped and ran the same sides again,same results Except i was the only guy out i was nailed on the hip by 1 of my own guys ,but again i was having a blast out there ...</font></font><br />
<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">Next up BOSNIA this is the centerpiece @ S/C helicopters and trenches and bunkers galore ,When i was loading up at my car for Bosnia i was switching paint over to Weapons Grade i had been shooting XO Industries on Baghdad and it was pretty good stuff but all i had left was some Weapons Grade ..Withing seconds of game on i t was break spray brake so i hunkered down behind a box and cleaned out the goo ,Again same results so i thought maybe This paint doesnt work with my Geo (i was kinda bummed as i was off to a great start for the day ).</font></font><br />
<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">So i ran back to the car and switched up to my Etek 3 with Magna hopper (ive found that my magna hoppers are a little bit more easy on paint vs a halo or reloader b)...</font></font><br />
<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">So i was able to get back on the field in time for the whistle for game 2..i make a brake for the bunker system and i have a guy lined up and BAMMMMMM i rip off a rope and 3 balls zip right into his area ,so im thinking ok paint woes over .... not so fast within seconds its the same old story Chop Chop Chop ...At this point i just say F#@# it and walk off and pack up my gear i was just sooo pissed this is the 1st time that ive ever had to leave early because of paint issues ,usually the Planet Eclipse markers shoot fine with any paint i guess Saturday must have been a rare day where i had brittle paint and it just wasnt meant to be ....Atleast on the positive side i have the display on Baghdad to keep me going till i play again (probably Superbowl Sunday )....</font></font><br />
<br />
<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">P.s ive decided to put my A-5 up for sale ,it had just been collecting dust so if it sells soon i might be picking up another etek3 but this time the LT version ....</font></font></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="blogcontent restore">Here are the guys from sacramento that were mentioned in my prior post,hopefully i will bump into them again ...looks like i will be going out this saturday to play with Mountain View Paintball private group,they are a great bunch of guys that play from my local store(shout out to Brent ,Chris ,Brian and Steve usually when i play with them i get roughly 6-7 maps in before lunch thats roughly 14 games these games can run up to 15 minutes great times1 of the great perks of playing with them is at lunch they have a lady that runs a bbq the dogs and burgers that she puts out there for us really hit the spot and then your set for afternoon play<br />
..Weather forecast looks good 60 and partly cloudy ideal conditions to play in here in So Cal compaired with june july when it hits 100 and you are dog tired and soaking in sweat after 1 or 2 days ,i know you guys back east will have a hard time understanding but during the summer its just sucks to be out there it gets really extremely hot we are talking low 100s ,its gets very dusty out there which adds to the misery,your paint swells up so all of a sudden your shooting .793 bore :D...<br />
Personally i prefer november to april when the weather and conditions are ideal for me to get out there,i try to log 3-5 times a month during that 6 month window when summer rolls around im looking at 2 times a monthif im lucky it really does take a toll on your body and you are still feeling the weakness during the week yeah i know im almost 40 but im semi decent shape  .<br />
I was actually thinking of hitting gateraide up for a sponsorship since im chugging so much of their product during the summer when i go to the bathroom im shooting all the colors of the rainbow ....<br />
Im planning on taking some photos this weekend of the fields so you guys out there can get a idea of the fun we get to play out here in So Cal..so stay tuned for that <br />
 <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="blogcontent restore"><font face="Century Gothic"><font size="4"><font color="seagreen">Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest but its been a day of reflection.Yesterday i was ablte to sneak out to S/C and get a few games in, but not to many others showed up actually a grand total of 17 made it to walk ons ,so there i was in the mist freezing my butt off (hard to believe yeah its cold in So Cal ) i encountered a group of dedicated players who had driven down friday night from Sacramento just to ball at S/C.</font></font></font><br />
<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">There was 12 of them and i think out of the 12 11 were pumpers (3 being 12 - 13 yr olds) ,the first map Beruit i was able to ball with some of them and against them as they had split up,i was able to get 1 of them out as he peaked out a window but within seconds i was covered in banana flavoured paint (yeah these guys shoot flavoured paint how old school and cool is that ) 2nd go around on beruit and i picked off 2 before running out of air (yeah i know noob mistake always check your fill)..i was able to chat for a minute with a couple of these guys and they basically are a group of friends with their kids that just like to play and with the lack of great fields up north they come down here to So Cal .Keep in mind we are talking roughly 500 miles to come down here .</font></font><br />
<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">So later on that morning as the crowds showed up these guys were able to play as a unit on Bosnia( without a doubt the biggest field @ S.C)...I rolled with Team Sunji another pump team against the Sacramento guys and within seconds we were just amazed at 2 things that were taking place before our eyes </font></font><br />
<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">1. How noob the rest of the walk ons were in our group ,at 1 point we are talking 4 to a bunker and no body moving up when there was atleast 20 yards of free space</font></font><br />
<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">2.The sacramento guys were totally wiping the field ,myself and SunJi were the only ones that were even putting up a fight,i'm out there with my Geo laying paint down like a mad man and i turn around and see the rest of the walk ons long balling balls into orbit without a hope of hitting anything,</font></font><br />
<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">So guess what happens right as i move up to a bunker in front the Sunji guys i get nailed by a guy on my own team right on the side of the mask ...fricking friendly fire ....</font></font><br />
<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">So im sitting on the side lines watching the action shooting the sh17 with the sacramento guys explaining what happened on field and they were amazed at how our guys just laided back..so anyways we flip sides for the restart..</font></font><br />
<br />
<br />
<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">So again im running with Sunji i get to a sandbag installation that has neting over it, we turn around and yet again nood squad is just sitting back in the back longballing so i yell at them move up so a few of them join us ,so im getting ready to roll out of that area and im up and running when one of the noobs in the bunker pushes me out i dont know if what happens next is just an accident the guys hand pushes my flex off my face right as i push over a berm into a rain of fire ...i totally went into turtle mode on the dirty .let me tell you i heard a few balls zip right over me while im on the deck at that point im yelling mask off mask off lucky for me the assisant ref and a Sunji guy saw that the flex was about 15 feet away from me and i think it was the guy Scuba from Sunji that grabed it and ran over to me with it and blocked a few balls headed for me while i slipped on the flex...</font></font><br />
<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">Apart from feeling very luck i also felt a little pissed that no one stopped firing while obviously this was going down and im also puzzled as why someone would shove another player around the mask area . I know we have all pushed someone around the back or shoulder area to say Hey move up or Go ! but im just gonna put this down to a noob being a noob...</font></font><br />
<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">But anyway at that point in the morning i just wanted to call it a day ..So on my way off 1 of the Sacramento crew pulled me aside and told me he saw a little of it and that he tried to tell a few noobs to ceasefire so atleast someone was paying attention out there .</font></font><br />
<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">So right before heading home i went out to say how laters to the sacramento guys i got to talk to 1 of their guys (Patrick) ,The guy was totalyl cool and i was able to get some info on these guys in mossy oak shirts...</font></font><br />
<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">So i just wanna give a big thanks to these guys for showing skill and class out on the field </font></font><br />
<font size="4"><font color="#2e8b57">so Thanks and i cant wait to run into you guys again at S.C hopefully i will be on the same side as you guys </font></font></blockquote>
